Dear
Athletes and Families,
Little Athletics Victoria (LAVic) is
celebrating its 40th year of fundraising for the Royal Children's
Hospital Good Friday Appeal. To mark this special anniversary
LAVic have re-introduced, after a long absence, the Relaython and
have invited all Victorian Athletic Centres to participate.
Brighton Little Athletics Centre has a history of supporting this
appeal especially given that the Royal Children's Hospital is
available to our youngest members, our athletes, should the need
arise. Although the Royal Children's Hospital officially opened
new facilities a few days ago, the need for fundraising through
the Annual Good Friday Appeal remains vital. The hospital seeks
to keep in step with technology and the need to purchase new and
update existing equipment continues.
Brighton Little
Athletics Centre has accepted LAVic's invitation and will
participate in the Relaython, as will other Centres around
Victoria, on Saturday 12 November. This event
will be conducted from 6am to 12noon on this day with the
object to keep the baton continuously moving around our
athletics track for the entire 6 hours. Athletes are invited
to get into the spirit of fun by wearing their "Funky" socks. Brighton Little Athletics
Centre will still offer the usual program of athletic events and
will call age groups in between events to participate. We will be
touching base with the Nerve Centre at LAVic hourly to provide
updates on the day. We would also like to warmly invite our
parents and officials to participate on the day by running a lap
or two but please be mindful that only registered athletes are
covered by Little Athletics Insurance.
Brighton Little
Athletics Centre asks if athletes could seek sponsorship prior to
the event with the pledge form attached. Please use one pledge form
for each athlete and write the athlete's name on the bottom of the
page. We, along with LAVic, request that athletes do not go door
to door to request donations but rather approach family, friends
or parent work colleagues. Seeking up front donations would be
preferable as athletes will not be required to return to collect
money after the event. Brighton Little Athletes Centre would like
to thank the Kulesza Family who have kindly donated 2 prizes that
we will present on Saturday 3 December. The first will be a
$100 JB Hi-Fi voucher to the athlete who raises the most money and
the second prize will be a $50 JB Hi-Fi voucher to an athlete who
will be randomly drawn from the pool of athletes who participated
in the relaython and fundraising and returns their sponsorship
pledge forms with money to their club president or me by 9am on
Saturday 3 December.
I would love to hear from athletes
in the U12 age groups and above who may be able to come down to
Dendy Park early on the day at 6am to get the event up and
running by participating prior to the commencement of competition.
To all our parents and officials, as well as participating,
your cheering and clapping of athletes as they participate would
add to the atmosphere of the day.
Please contact me with any
enquiries.
Thank you for your support, in advance,
Debbie
McCann,
Publicity and PR.
